Superintendent of TSCC 1446

On August 19, 2010, the Directors of the Board of the 880 building (TSCC 1446, aka Parkside) received an email from Michael Doherty, the property manager, informing the Board that George, the superintendent of TSCC 1446 had resigned, effective September 7, 2010, and that he had taken up another superintendent job at another condo corporation.

At the Board of Director's meeting on August 25, 2010, the Board was made aware then of a letter of reprimand sent by Michael Doherty to George that George was allegedly interfering with contractors. This letter of reprimand was dated July 12, 2010.

Some members of the Board were not happy in being informed of this incident at such a late stage that it would be indifferent to verify the allegations in the letter (because George had already taken up another job), and that there is virtually no leeway to maneuver and take any proactive steps to let the employee to improve himself if any of the allegations were true.

The property manager was then given a clear directive from the Board that the property manager should in the future notify the Board all such written warnings to the employee(s) of the corporation within a week. This hopefully will give the Board more time in the future in similar situations to understand, investigate and take the appropriate course of action.

[Note: The superintendent is an employee of the condo corporation, but the property manager is not. The property manager Michael Doherty, and the assistant Maggie Yim are just contractors providing their services through their employer, Del Property Management.]

The property manager also mentioned that to get a good superintendent, it may take weeks, or even months. He proposed a candidate, Byron, who had previously worked with/under Michael Doherty for over 5 years. And Michael Doherty suggested a higher compensation for Byron in order to lure Byron from his current job.

In view of the possible degradation (if without a superintendent) of the up-keeping of the building in the next many weeks (if not many months), the Board felt that their hands are being tied and had but to agree to hire Byron as TSCC 1446's next superintendent at a significantly higher cost.

So, please welcome Byron, the new superintendent, to TSCC 1446, the 880 building!

TSCC 1446 First Board Meeting

TSCC 1446 (Parkside) had its first Board of Directors meeting after the AGM on July 7, 2010. A typical order of business for the first Board meeting after every Annual General Meeting (AGM) is to elect from the members of the Board the President of the condo corporation, and to elect or appoint other officers (such as Secretary, Treasurer) and other representatives (e.g., Shared Facilities representatives).

The election is similar to election of directors. The five members of the Board (Andy Chang, David Grader, Thomas Kwong, Simon Li and Audrey Wai) cast votes for their candidate, and the candidate who has the most number of votes wins for that position.

The Process:

Simon Li nominated himself for the position of President. Thomas Kwong nominated David Grader for the position of President. After voting, Simon Li was duly elected as President.

David Grader nominated Thomas Kwong for the position of Treasurer, but Thomas Kwong declined his nomination. Simon Li nominated Andy Chang for the position of Treasurer. After voting, Andy Chang was duly elected as Treasurer.

David Grader nominated himself for the position of Secretary. After voting, David Grader was duly elected as Secretary.

Simon Li nominated Thomas Kwong for the position of 1st Vice-President. After voting, Thomas Kwong was elected as 1st Vice-President.

Simon Li nominated Audrey Wai for the position of 2nd Vice-President. After voting, Audrey Wai was elected as 2nd Vice-President.

Next is the election of representatives to the Shared Facilities Committee, which comprises of six people, two representatives from each of the three condo corporations of the Grandview Way residential complex.

Simon Li and David Grader nominated themselves as representatives to the Shared Facilities Committee. Audrey Wai nominated Andy Chang for this position. So, three candidates competing for two positions. After voting, Simon Li and Andy Chang were duly appointed as the Shared Facilities representatives on behalf of the Corporation.

What is Grandview Way?

Welcome to Grandview Way!

But, what is Grandview Way?

Grandview Way is a residential complex located in North York, south of Finch and east of Yonge. Since the amalgamation, North York has become part of the City of Toronto.

This entire residential complex was built by the developer Tridel under the project name "Northtown". It consists of three condominium projects:

• The casitas (or more commonly known as the townhouses), the condominium townhouses completed in 1995 under the project name “Northtown Casitas 1”. Legally it is known as Metropolitan Toronto Condominium Corporation Number 1113 (MTCC 1113).

• The 88 Grandview Way building – the condominium building completed in 1996 under the project name “Grandview Tower”. Legally it is known as Metropolitan Toronto Condominium Corporation Number 1132 (MTCC 1132).

• The 880 Grandview Way building – the condominium building completed in 2002, under the project name “Parkside”. Legally it is known as Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation Number 1446 (TSCC 1446).

If you want to know the difference between MTCC and TSCC, read the article “Condominium Corporation.”

With the addition of the newest and latest building (the 880 building), the Grandview Way residential complex is now complete. This entire complex was managed by DEL Property Management Inc., an affiliation, (if not a subsidiary) of Tridel, the builder of the Grandview Way residential complex.
